I wish Reddit wouldn't disable comments under ad-posts. Such a shitty website and so happy I left it for Lemmy.
Same thing with YouTube. I wish I could vent to the people responsible for putting rubbish in front of me. They deserve to hear my opinion as much as they think they have the right to serve me that ad.
They know exactly what they're doing and they absolutely don't give a flying fuck about what you or I think of it.
You’ve discovered the reason why comments are disabled 😅
For web, use Firefox (or a Firefox based browser, such as Zen) with uBlock Origin and sponsorblock extensions.
For Android, use YouTube ReVanced (has ad blocking and sponsorblock built in)
For Android TV/FireTV/Google TV use Smarttube (also has ad blocking and sponsorblock built in)
If you're on iPhone/iPad/Apple TV you're still out of luck as far as I'm aware.
I don’t see ads in YouTube while using ddg video filter in search. iOS
No yt account and proton vpn with secure core on always and additional settings.
There are other options, but I haven’t kept up with it in awhile so I’m hesitant to suggest them.
